This Novel Membrane Desalinates Water With 99.99% Efficiency

This Novel Membrane Desalinates Water With 99.99% Efficiency

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), roughly 785 million people worldwide lack a clean source of drinkable water. Desalination could be the key to meet the world’s drinking water needs. This year, we have seen a few different ways to desalinate water, including a desalination device that also harvests lithium & H2 from seawater affordably and a portable lamp that converts half a liter of saltwater into 45 days of light. Korean engineers have developed a nanofiber membrane that turns seawater into drinkable water by a membrane distillation process. In addition, the membrane can operate efficiently for long periods. In this process, the...
